- strogonoff 3y agoDoes anything like Philosophy Café exist in that city nowadays?
- FabHK 3y agoHi, yes, the HK Philosophy Café is still around! [1] There's also HK Skeptics in the Pub. [2] There was a Café Scientifique, but it closed down. Then there's some Book groups that tend to discuss non-fiction. [3] Hope to see you! [1] There's a WA group, but I don't have the invite link.

- strogonoff 3y agoHugely appreciated. Judging by the description on Skeptics I’d expect strongly Kantian views to not be very well received (they don’t particularly align with physicalism, and I find when people mention “science” they typically mean physicalism/materialistic monism), but who knows!
